Serena Williams Adamant Super Bowl Dance Wasn’t Drake Shade

Serena Williams denies that her Super Bowl dance was a diss aimed at her ex, Drake. The tennis legend clarified that her appearance at Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show was simply a shoutout to her hometown and not meant to be negative towards Drake. Williams emphasized that she has never had negative feelings towards Drake and that the dance was not intended as shade. Her husband, Alexis Ohanian, also defended her, stating that the criticism was unwarranted and that they are focused on investing in women and sports. Drake has sued Universal Music Group for defamation over Kendrick’s hit, but has largely remained quiet about the situation.
